Support Centre

Our weekly Support Centre offers our migrant visitors free advice on immigration, accommodation and welfare issues, as well as signposting to organisations that can help with other issues. We also provide a warm welcome, tea and biscuits, and opportunities to socialise and practise speaking English.

Our visitors’ needs and welfare are our top priority. We always do our best to help while respecting anonymity and listening without judgement in the strictest of confidence.

Drop in and see us: We are open from 10:00am-12:30pm every Friday.
